I saw this bug in my garage last Thursday. I thought that it was a wasp or a mosquito when it landed next to me, but it did not behave like one, and it was entirely passive for as long as I was around it. Any idea what it is? I live in the middle section of the east coast of the USA.This looks like one of the Hanging Thief Robber Flies (Diogmites sp.), a genus of robber flies which hang while feeding. Not to be confused with Hangingflies which are in a completely different order and are more closely related to scorpionflies ..read more

Females have more traditional mandibles and can give a fearsome bite if mistreated ..read more

Found a few of these in my garage. Hard to knock down also. Chicago.This is (or was) the nest of a Mud Dauber (a broad term that is applied to several families), or a similar wasp. They make these nests out of mud and saliva, and store paralyzed prey in them for their larvae to eat. You can see the remnants of some of the chambers in your photo ..read more
